...were the strong, steady playing of Lewis, and several sensational runs outside of tackle and around the ends by Wendell. Groton, as a team, played the better game, but was handicapped by the weight of its opponents. The ends were fast in getting down the field under punts, and almost always downed their men for small gains. In this respect they clearly outplayed the Freshman ends, whose slowness was noticeable...
...like a bird, with wings to flap, and the other like a kite. The former has turned out to be worthless, but the latter has been developed into the aeroplane. The first attempt to fly in one of these machines was made in 1894 with little success. Not until almost the beginning of this century when Langley, Chanute, and the Wright brothers turned their attention to this invention was anything like success attained. The flying machine was the outcome of experiments in gliding. The Wright brothers made many trials in this way, and in 1903 applied a motor to their...

A more varied attack would undoubtedly have been more effective. He ran the team well, put life into the men, and in almost every case handled the ball cleanly. The back-field was rather erratic, at times too slow in starting, and at other times starting before the ball. They ran hard, though it was more through individual brilliancy then team work, that they made their gains. P. D. Smith, Corbett and Frothingham were the best ground...
